June 2015: The Month Of…

Your editor-in-chief Martha here. I’m back with the second in our series of “The Month of…”

If you saw our first “The Month of…” article, you’ll know what this series is all about. If you didn’t (why the hell not?) you can see it in last month’s post.

I’m noticing a pattern in these monthly round ups that your sweet tooth will be more than happy with. There seems to be plenty of excuses to indulge in your favorite sweet treats. But don’t worry! June is also national fruit and veg month. It’s all about having everything in moderation after all.

As with May’s post, I’m going to round up of not only what the month of June 2015 represents, but also the special, unique and down right crazy days June will bring too. So without further ado, I present June 2015: The Month Of…

June 2015 is the month of:

Candy – Not the best thing for bikini season but we won’t say no.

Dairy – FroYo counts as dairy right?

Fight the Filthy Fly – Summer is here, let the battle with the flies commence.

Gay Pride – Show the love people.

National Fresh Fruit and Vegetables Month – Let’s balance off all the candy and FroYo with our daily dose of fruit and veg

June Daily Holidays and Crazy/Fun Days:

June 26 Take Your Dog to Work Day – Not sure how your boss will feel about this.

June 27 Sun Glasses Day – Summer is in full swing, the sun is out and so are the sunnies. Does this day mean it’s also appropriate to stock up on some new pairs?
